Tally all those in human history whom Christians would consider "people" (fetuses and children), who died before even having the option available to their conscious reflection, and you have billions (perhaps even numbering more than those who made it to adulthood)--assuming God is just--in heaven, not by choice, but by "coercion."
Children that die at birth are raised by angels in the spiritual world and prepared to take their place in heaven. I cannot answer as to why those of us here on earth were not afforded the same opportunity.
